Audience Reviews-
One of Dilip Sahab’s greatest films. All of the actors do an excellent job, and the tunes are fantastic. All through the film, I was completely entertained. I recall the moment where Dilip Sahab gets punished by Jamidar after requesting that he offer him any labour to make money, and Jamidar abuses him severely. In response, Dilip Sahab loses his temper as well as response with a one-of-a-kind response that none of us can equal in terms of acting skill and spontaneous reactions. Great actor and performer!
